Prompt libraries worth copying from

Published prompt collections, and the tools that help you find out whether a prompt actually works. The second part matters more than the first.

Anthropic prompt library

AnthropicTop pick

Short, well-written examples grouped by job rather than by novelty. The useful thing about an official library is that it reflects what the model was actually tuned for.

Sources and method

The ranking is ours. Anything on this page that can be checked is checked against a named source, and the date we last opened that source is printed with it. If a figure and our verdict disagree, trust the figure and follow the link.

A model is listed only once its provider publishes pricing and documents an API. Every figure carries a source and the date we checked it; the ranking is ours.
